The Department is proposing
to modify an existing SPDES stormwater permit for the
purposes of removing the requirement to monitor the discharge for zinc. Based upon a
recent study by the permittee, zinc that has been present in the outfall was found to be
coming from the groundwater in the area. In addition, the sample collection point has
been moved to be more consistent with discharges from the facility. The facility is
located in the Town of Guilderland, Albany County.
